Lawn Mowing in Calhoun, LA
Lawn Care in Calhoun for Acreage, Fence Lines, and Real Louisiana Grass
From $55 a week on small yards to $140 on acreage, with the trim work big frontage demands built into every cut.
A Calhoun lawn is rarely just a lawn. On the rolling, wooded ground west of Monroe, a typical property pairs a sunny stretch of common Bermuda out front with centipede holding down the thinner upland soil and St. Augustine hanging on in the shade where the woods press in close. Each of those grasses wants something different from a mower: Bermuda thrives on short, frequent cuts; centipede prefers a moderate height and minimal fuss; St. Augustine under hardwood canopy needs to be left tall enough to feed itself on filtered light. College Bros sets the deck per zone of your property — not one height for the whole route — because that is what keeps mixed-turf acreage green through a Louisiana August.
The other thing that makes mowing in 71225 different is the linear footage. Out here the cut itself is often the fast part; the slow part is the string trimming along hundreds of feet of fence line, the ditch and culvert at the road, the pump house, the burn pile ring, the line where lawn gives way to woods. That detail work is exactly what gets skipped when a crew prices a big lot too cheap and starts watching the clock. Our per-visit price builds it in: every stop includes the mow, string trimming around everything that needs it, and a blow-off of the concrete before we load up — and the Premium package adds a clean blade edge on driveways and walks plus weed control on every visit.
The growing season here is long — fast spring green-up, a summer where a single rainy week along the I-20 corridor can put four inches on a Bermuda lawn, and a fall when the hardwoods bury wooded lots in leaves. We run weekly and biweekly schedules and shift them as the season does, with fertilization and weed control available on the same route and leaf removal priced $75–$600 when the trees let go. If your place has gotten away from you entirely, we do overgrown-lot recovery cuts too, quoted by condition. Start by booking online; the complete rate table sits on the pricing page, and the Calhoun hub shows everything else we do out here.
What Mowing Service in Calhoun Includes
Equipment Sized for Acreage
An acre-plus lot cut with undersized machines takes all afternoon and looks like it. Our crews show up with mowers matched to open ground, so big Calhoun properties get finished efficiently and evenly, at $140 a week for the largest Basic tier.
Three Grasses, Three Programs
Bermuda in the sun, centipede on the lean upland soil, St. Augustine in the tree shade — each zone gets its own cut height and pace. Mowing all three the same way is the quickest path to scalped Bermuda or heat-stressed St. Augustine by midsummer.
Fence Lines, Ditches, and Edges
String trimming along road frontage, fences, culverts, and outbuildings is part of the visit, not an upsell. On rural lots that trim work can be half the job, so we quote with it counted from the start.
Fertilization and Weed Control
Feeding and treatment programs timed to Northeast Louisiana's long season keep turf dense enough to crowd out the weeds that colonize thin centipede first. Available as an add-on to any mowing schedule.
Leaf Season and Recovery Cuts
Wooded Calhoun lots drop heavy leaf cover every fall; removal prices at $75–$600 by leaf volume and lot size. Overgrown properties get a recovery cut quoted by condition, then drop into standard weekly or biweekly pricing.

What Your Neighbors Say
These guys are the real deal. Showed up on time, did an incredible job on our yard, and the price was more than fair. We've used them three times now and they never disappoint.
I needed my house soft washed before putting it on the market. College Bros made it look brand new. The buyer's agent even complimented how clean everything was. Worth every penny.
We manage several rental properties and College Bros handles all of them. Reliable, affordable, and they communicate better than companies twice their size. Highly recommend.
Had them do a full spring cleanup — leaf removal, mulching, bush trimming, the works. My yard hasn't looked this good in years. Already booked them for monthly maintenance.
Professional, courteous, and they do incredible work. I've tried other lawn services in Monroe and none of them compare. College Bros is the only crew I trust with my property.
They pressure washed our entire driveway, sidewalks, and back patio. It looks like we just poured new concrete. Absolutely amazing transformation. Will be using them again.
Calhoun Lawn Mowing FAQs
How much does lawn mowing cost in Calhoun, LA?
Because Calhoun properties trend big, the most common weekly Basic rates here are $105 on half-acre-to-acre lots and $140 past the acre mark. Smaller yards come in at $55 under a quarter acre and $80 from a quarter to a half acre, with one-time cuts from $75 on small yards up to $190 on acreage. Every Basic visit includes mowing, string trimming, and blow-off, and the Premium package adds edging and weed control from $75 a week. Your lot sets the final number, and the complete table lives on the pricing page.
Do you mow acreage in Calhoun?
Yes — acreage is the core of our Calhoun lawn work, not an exception to it. Properties over an acre run $140 a week on the Basic package — $190 as a one-time cut — handled with equipment built for open ground, and the price includes the perimeter detail that big lots carry: fence-line trimming, ditch and culvert edges, and blow-off of drives and walks. If you have been told your lot is too big for a regular service schedule, send the address through the booking page and we will quote it the same day.
Should my Calhoun lawn be mowed weekly or biweekly?
It depends on the turf. Bermuda in full sun grows aggressively from spring through early fall and stays healthiest on a weekly cut; centipede and shaded St. Augustine grow slower and usually do well biweekly. Many mixed properties in Calhoun run weekly through the peak months and stretch to biweekly as growth slows in fall. We set a starting cadence on the first visit and adjust it with the season rather than locking you into one frequency year-round.
Do you trim along fences and ditches, or just mow?
Trimming is included on every visit. The crew string-trims fence lines, ditches, culverts, mailboxes, tree rings, and outbuilding edges before blowing the hard surfaces clean. On rural Calhoun lots that perimeter work is a major share of the labor, which is why we build it into the per-visit price instead of treating it as an extra. Blade edging on driveways and sidewalks comes with the Premium package, or as an add-on from $20 for active mowing customers.
Can you cut an overgrown lot in Calhoun?
Yes. Lots that have gone a season — or several — without a cut get a recovery service first: a staged cut-down done at heights that knock the growth back without tearing up the turf underneath. Recovery cuts are quoted by the condition of the property rather than the standard tiers, and once the lot is back under control, most owners move onto a regular weekly or biweekly schedule at normal rates. Photos help; send them with your booking request for a faster quote.
How soon can you start mowing in Calhoun?
Every Calhoun request gets a same-day response, and first cuts usually happen within the week — the I-20 corridor makes 71225 a straightforward stop on routes already heading west from Monroe. We confirm your slot before promising a day. The fastest path is booking online, which takes about sixty seconds, or text (318) 600-9123 if a quick conversation about lot size and frequency suits you better.
